The Hosta ‘Patriot’ is a very popular shade perennial, recognized for its intense dark green foliage bordered with a wide, pure white margin. Its sharp, bright contrast makes it an excellent choice for illuminating partially shaded flowerbeds, woodland gardens, and border plantings.
It forms a dense, well-structured, medium-sized clump, ideal as a specimen plant or in group plantings. In summer, pale lavender flowers appear on upright scapes above the foliage.
To preserve the intensity of the white, it prefers partial shade and moist soil.
